Intended Use
OSTEO-PIN is used to attach absorbable and non-absorbable membranes used for guided tissue regeneration and guided bone regeneration to underlying bone.
Device Story
OSTEO-PIN is a fixation pin designed to secure absorbable and non-absorbable membranes to bone during guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedures. The device is used by clinicians in a surgical setting to stabilize membranes, ensuring proper bone healing and tissue regeneration. By providing secure fixation, the pin prevents membrane displacement, facilitating the intended clinical outcome of bone growth. It is a mechanical fixation device.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical fixation pin for membrane attachment. Materials and specific dimensions are not detailed in the provided documentation. Non-powered, manual surgical instrument.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in dental and orthopedic procedures requiring the attachment of absorbable or non-absorbable membranes to underlying bone for guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Bone grafting material is a material such as hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, polylactic and polyglycolic acids, or collagen, that is intended to fill, augment, or reconstruct periodontal or bony defects of the oral and maxillofacial region.
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls) for bone grafting materials that do not contain a drug that is a therapeutic biologic. The special control is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Dental Bone Grafting Material Devices.” (See § 872.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.)(2) Class III (premarket approval) for bone grafting materials that contain a drug that is a therapeutic biologic. Bone grafting materials that contain a drug that is a therapeutic biologic, such as biological response modifiers, require premarket approval.
(c)
*Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of product development protocol (PDP) is required.* Devices described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or a declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
